Things that annoy you (9 Viewers)

LastGarrison · Dec 1, 2019

The electronic sign at the end of Binley Road that says ‘Don’t phone whilst driving’.

Although I agree with the sentiment is that grammatically correct? Have they just shortened it to make it fit? Does anyone ‘phone’?

It’s annoying me just typing it. Where’s that Buzzard guy when you need him.

I used Deliveroo for the first time yesterday after my favourite pizza place now exclusively use them for deliveries. I've never had a problem in two years of regular orders.

The pizza came quite quickly but when the cyclist handed me the boxes I noticed a lot of fat had saturated one side of the box. I opened it in front of him and the toppings on both pizzas had slipped off. I looked at him as if he'd just kicked my mother down the stairs and he just said "Uh sorry mate, nothing I can do about it. Call the restaurant and they'll sort it" and off he rode.

I called the restaurant and they said that as the pizza left the restaurant intact that it wasn't their fault and to call Deliveroo who would offer a prompt refund. I emailed Deliveroo with photos of the destroyed pizzas and they replied with "We're sorry about that. We hope your next experience is better"

So fuck Deliveroo. My instincts about them were right.

I used them once for a pizza delivery and had the same experience. It didn’t help that the moronic delivery driver was holding them under his arm so the pizzas were on their sides.

It's probably been said before but people who stop dead in their tracks on a busy path without any concern for the person walking behind them have a special place in hell reserved for them.

Mrs Wisdom going away for the weekend, and hiding the Pringles I was looking forward to eating.

Is that what you call it nowadays? Hiding the pringles.

You won't like today's annoying thing then, roofing the shed.

Each time one bit is on, another part lifts up. It's been an endless circle of hell trying to line it all up!

What I want to know is why nobody moves aside if they're two abreast on a narrow pavement. Your chat can wait the 10 seconds while we pass, instead of trying to force me off the pavement!

Absolute wankers. Then cry when they get pushed over.

This has reminded me of an annoyance of mine.
People who use the phone while they are being served in a shop. How fucking rude can you be? Surely your phone call can wait the 30 seconds or so that you're being served.
Happened in front of me the other day. Lady on the phone didn't even acknowledge the poor young fella serving. Ignorance in its highest form.

The same goes for people who stop dead by the door after walking into or out of a supermarket.

Especially when they don’t look where they’re going. In my younger days I’d be ready for the impact to send them falling to the floor (if they were around my age) and then stand above shouting at them to watch where they’re going.

Luckily I’m a bit calmer these days.

I've noticed that some shops now give their employees headsets so they can communicate with each other in the shop without physically being next to each other. A productivity booster in theory but in practice the employees just use it to chat and gossip and it's insanely annoying especially when the person serving you is having a conversation about waxing their legs with someone in the stockroom while more or less ignoring me.

Do they not know who I am?!

Can I add cunts who hang out in doorways. Especially cunty mums with giant buggies who stop for a natter in narrow school corridors at drop off time.

Escalators are the best as you have nowhere to go but push them out of the way, I'm convinced the general public are thick as fuck.

I run along the canal sometimes and regularly have to either stop or run onto the grassy verge because of pram faces.

They should be banned.

The Aldi by me had them for a while but they've got rid again now as that's what was happening

The staff in Lidl always seem to have them on but I think they're so downtrodden that they can't muster the energy to chat.

Back in the day, when I worked in a well known bookshop, I used to move on to the next person and they'd have to join the back of the queue.

Stupid student pricks campaigning for the election on a roundabout.

Naturally, they're going to be a distraction and people don't know how to use roundabouts anyway...

Awww don’t worry. I’m sure Boris will make it so you don’t ever have to see anyone with different opinions to you x

It's not about the party they're campaigning for, it's the hazard to other road users.

Go campaign in town or something.

Mr Panda · Dec 4, 2019

When you're in the line at Subway and the prick just ahead of you orders a hot drink whilst your toasted sub sits open and unattended with cold lettuce, tomato and cucumber rapidly reducing the temperature of your lunch, whilst the person at the till takes a couple of agonizingly long minutes to brew a latte.

I hate eating cold things that are meant to be hot.

What are they doing? Stopping cars? How is it any different from having a sign in your front garden/farmers field or those Dominos guys who stand by the roadside?

Just the normal uni stuff. Prancing around, arresting broccoli, being quirky and "out there".

I agree, they should all be stopped. Obviously stationary signs are a bit different, but the fast food mascots prancing around distracting drivers shouldn't allowed, I believe. Especially in an era where we are constantly told to focus 100% on our driving, don't be distracted etc.

Obviously, you're only jumping on this because they are uni students campaigning for Labour, but road safety should come first imo. You're looking right to look for oncoming traffic and some prick is messing around to your left.

Actually I’m jumping on it because I don’t see an issue with people doing things near a road. If you’re looking right why does it matter what’s happening to your left, you can’t see it.

Jesus. So a load of people in a group to your left, stepping on and off the road, just ignore them yeah?

Most students don't even know how to cross a road anyway, they just herd across blindly.
